Hi. I was looking into the feat Talfirian Song, which lets you burn Bard Song uses to heighten a spell up to 9th level on a 1:1 basis (burn 3 uses, +3 to spell level). It occurred to me that this would be useful for early entry and indeed as far as I can tell a bard could enter Shadowcraft Mage at level 5 (maybe at an even lower level with some other tricks).
However, I have two problems with this:
1. What [Shadow] spells to pick in order to qualify. The Bard spell list does not have many useful Shadow spells at low levels.
2. What do you do from level 5 to say level 10? At higher levels you can transition into sublime chord so you end up being a sorcerer, but I fear such a character might be a bit of a dead weight while getting there.
Thoughts?
